LINDA H. POST FINE ART

The nude in the foreground is painted mostly from my imagination. I taught figure drawing from models for many years, so anatomy is...

The scale of my recent work projects the feeling of being able to physically enter the painting’s terrain and become part of the narrative.

Collecting art, displaying art in your home - how will it look in a room? Much of my art is large in scale and full of color, but it works.

This is the final stretch. With just a few tweaks (mostly bottom right, upper left) this painting will be ready for a professional photo...

There are so many shades and tones of red. Hot, cool and soft. In the dead center of this eleven-foot painting is a girl wearing a...

There are seven hands to paint in this mural-sized "parade of hope and feathers". I've written about hands before. I have always...

I usually have a fairly clear image in my head of where I want a painting to go. Of course, there are days when I stand in front of the...

My latest exhibit, "The Willing Suspension of Disbelief", opened on April 25 in the big, sunlit upstairs gallery space at R. Michelson...

April 25 - May 15. A solo show highlighting the new painting, "The Willing Suspension of Disbelief", plus a selection of work from the...

Sometimes less is more, and that was my thought about all the pink/ alizarin crimson/ cadmium tones in this painting, "The Willing...

I think of spring as a time of renewal, don't you? This painting has been on my wall for quite some time. I want to take it down and...

When I get to this point in a painting, it's time for me to decide where the boundaries of the finished painting will be. Since the...

This painting has been fleshing itself out (seriously, I've been working on some of the flesh) and I now have a working title. It's "A...
